Alshabaab is losing ground but they are going underground, i believe Alshabaab is more radical and more extreme and more effective that it was few years. The African union troops will chase them away from all the major cities but in time they can never really defeat shabaab who are hiding in the midst of the civilians and the African union troops are not police forces and can never really keep the place secure they can remove shabaab but they can not keep the place secure. it takes allot of intelligence to fill the vacuum to set up proper networks of intelligence in the places removed by Shabaab.

SFG militia are learning to drive armored vehicles after 23 years of Madness i doubt these clowns can liberate a quarter of a village credit goes to Ethiopia and Kenya.

Lets be correct here the SFG militia hides behind the African union troops the credit goes to the Amisom troops they fought shabaab and removed the shabaab militants. So lets give credit where its due.

Stop lying SFG has not removed shabaab from a single village all credit goes to the African union troops , you can live in a fairy tale but Somalia has no defense apparatus the raid on Villa Somalia is our witness. Somalia is broken and dismantled by Somali factions, if Somaliland is so pathetic why do you wish to unite with them loolz, There would not be an SFG with out the African union troops these are the facts on the ground.

The message is loud and clear God bless

Professor Axmed samatar should run for office in Somaliland the people of Somaliland will give their votes to Axmed samatar.

Why dont you go to Somalia and fight the xabashis now they are all over the place from gedo to Galguduud to bay and bakool what is stopping you now. You have to build a strong state u cant hope for it and than it becomes Nabigu ducada wuxu yidhi ficil ku dara. Koonfurians are waiting for a miracle. No strong state can ever emerge in Somalia aslong as Somalis are deeply divided the 23 years ongoing civil war in Somalia is our witness. And also Alshabaab cannot be defeated by using half of the African continent.

Weak SFG is busy with Ukraine and Somaliland cultural festivals in uganda while Amiir Godane carries out homicide attacks in their backyards talk about defeating or winning a battle. its been 23 years since afweyne was ousted and the clowns in Mogadishu are for the first time being taught to operate armored vehicles, its going to take a while my friend.

You are missing the entire point the moral of the story is that Somalia and Somaliland are taking their disputes to African capitals this is not the politicians of the country these are the locals who have been studying there, they took their disputes to Kampala. This is not about winning of raising one flag at an university its deeper much deeper. These cultural festivals have been held in Ukraine Turkey Syria and there were never problems. But it shows that the Koonfurians feel real threatened by Somaliland flag They are scared to death to see the Somaliland flag. But surely Uganda will pick the side of Somalia the country they protect Uganda earns 2500 dollar per soldier in Somalia i would do the same if i was uganda As for Somalia heading any where Somalia is divided more than ever Puntland jubbaland south western state the small SFG cant barely control Mogadishu Shabaab still controlling large swats of the country and more deadly Shabaab were able to infiltrate villa Somalia. Somalia has a Turkish police commander and an Ugandan Army commander and a British Media adviser coordinator The SFG government controls basically no place and since recently the international community is rethinking of giving it the entire aid package that was pledged to her last year. Somalia is under the mercy of Ethiopia Kenya uganda and this will continue for quiet some time.

Somaliland: Somalia Intervenes Somaliland Students in Uganda Participation in Cultural Festival Saturday, 08 March 2014 17:31 Submit to Delicious Submit to Digg Submit to Facebook Submit to Google Bookmarks Submit to Stumbleupon Submit to Technorati Submit to Twitter Submit to LinkedIn Kampala International UniversityKampala International University By: Moody Boodle Kampala: (Somalilandsun) The Somalia ambassador to Uganda has put to end the participation of Somaliland students studying at Kampala international university in the cultural festival competition. Sources say that the Somaliland students had asked the festival management board if they could take part in the festivities using the Somaliland flag and the board nodded with a yes. Upon hearing of the news the Somali ambassador became furious and went straight to the university and asked them to withdraw their endorsement and at the same time asking if they are the body that has recognized Somaliland as a sovereign state. A student source says that despite the fact that Somaliland students outnumbers multiply their Somalia counterparts still oppose the fact that Somaliland is a state of its own. The seven day annual festival function held by Kampala international university ruled out the participation of Somaliland flag due to the instigated pressure from the ambassador who had even notified the Ugandan government.

One thing when the professor came to Somaliland he said what he misses so much is the purity of the Somali culture traditions poetry and singing he missed when he was with the Koonfurians he said wax gabay oo heesa waan waayey markan la joogay qolyihi.

Ciidamada Dowladda iyo kuwa AMISOM oo qabsaday Degmada Xudur Jimco, Maarso 07, 2014 (HOL) — Ciidamada dowladda Soomaaliya kuwa AMISOM ee ka socda dalka Itoobiya ayaa gellinkii dambe ee maanta la wareegay gacan ku haynta degmada Xudur ee gobolka Bakool oo ay ka talinaysay Al-shabab. Dagaal xooggan oo aan la ogeyn khasaaraha ka dhashay ayaa ka dhacay dibadda degmada Xudur, iyadoo dagaalka kaddib ciidamada dowladda Soomaaliya iyo kuwa AMISOM ay la wareegeen degmada Xudur. Taliska AMISOM ayaa xaqiijiyay in Xudur ay gashay gacanta ciidamada AMISOM iyo kuwa dowladda Soomaaliya oo iskaashanaya, iyadoo aysan bixin faahfaahinno intaas ka badan oo ay bixisay AMISOM. “Ciidamada AMISOM iyo kuwa dowladda Soomaaliya ayaa qabsaday degmada Xudur ee gobolka Bakool,” ayaa lagu yiri warbixin kooban oo lasoo dhigay bogga ay AMISOM ku leedahay shabakadda xiriirka bulshada ee Twitter-ka. Ma cadda khasaare nafeed oo ka dhashay dagaalka oo ahaa mid culus, iyadoo qabashada degmada Xudur ay kusoo beegmayso iyadoo dagaalyahannada Al-shabaab ay xalay dib ugu laabteen degmada Rabdhuurre ee isla gobolka Bakool oo maalin ka hor ay kala wareegeen ciidamada dowladda iyo kuwa AMISOM ee Itoobiya ka socda. “Degmada Xudur waxaa la wareegay ciidamada dowladda iyo kuwa AMISOM, mana arag wax khasaare ah oo dagaalkii dhexmaray ka dhashay,” ayuu yiri goobjooge ku sugan degmada Xudur ee gobolka Bakool.

Itoobiya iyo dalal kale oo Afrikaan ah ayaa waxaa Soomaaliya kaga sugan ciidammo gacan ka siinaya dowladda Soomaaliya dagaallada ay kula jirto Al-shabaab, iyadoo howlgalladan oo ah kuwo cusub lagu sheegay in dalka oo dhan ay ku qabsadaan. Tan iyo sannadkii 2011 ayaa waxaa Al-shabaab laga qabsaday degmooyin badan oo ay ka talinayeen, iyadoo howlgallada ay horkacayaan ciidamada Itoobiya ee qaybta ka ah AMISOM ay ka wadaan Koonfurta Soomaaliya ay yihiin kuwo kusoo beegmay xilli madaxda dowladda Soomaaliya ay ku dhawaaqeen in sannadkan uu noqonayo sannadkii Al-shabaab laga saari lahaa Soomaaliya oo dhan. Dhanka kale, ciidamada dowladda Soomaaliya iyo kuwa AMSIOM ka socda dalka Itoobiya ayaa ku wajahan degmada Waajid oo ka tirsan gobolka Bakool, iyadoo Al-shabaabna ay isku dayayso inay difaacan doonto.

The Ethiopians would never do that they have no interest to do so, The Russians will do everything to remain relevant as the second most powerful nation on earth. But eventually there is going to be a diplomatic solutions. Crimea is majority Ethnic Russians

I rest my case Somalidu waxay tidha fulay xantisa ma moogana

Long live the Somaliland government

Talllaabo i doubt the creature u quoted is from Baraxlay, no person from baraxlay would have so much hatred and envy for Somalilanders.I suspect he is a pirate who wishes to ally him self with the Damuljadid in order to get back at Somalilanders.

Alshabaab is far from defeated its actually rising shabaab is much smaller in size and are stronger the shabaab went underground now similar like the Taliban. I believe the more Foreign troops the more dangerous Shabaab gets.

There was a time this would not be a joke and super powers such as the united states and the soviet union really put allot of weight on the Somali republics opinion of international matters. But sadly that Somali republic is no longer here and this Somalia government cant even protect its Presidential palace.

Libaax sankataabe adeer its very clear what abdi weli is asking for Amisom troops in southern Mudug , to protect puntland from the Mudug shabaab cell its very clear.
